Career
Audacieux was one of the ships built in the various shipyards captured by the First French Empire in Holland and Italy in a crash programme to replenish the ranks of the French Navy.
The Dutch seized Audacieux when the French evacuated Amsterdam on 14 November 1813 and commissioned her as Colite, later renamed to Wassenaar. She was decommissioned in 1827. [1]
